Partick Thistle edged a seven-goal thriller in the first leg of their Scottish Premiership Play-off quarter-final against Queen’s Park thanks to Brian Graham’s late strike.
Clinical strikes from Kyle Turner and Jack McMillan put hosts Thistle ahead before Dom Thomas’ clever reply.
Aidan Fitzpatrick’s strike restored the advantage before two long rangers from Malachi Boateng and Thomas.
However, Graham’s close-range finish won it in stoppage time.
